A lot of these 'channel island' plants aren't grown there!! they are grown in cambridgeshire, (delamores) shipped out to the channel isles, then re-sent to england!! (something to do with export duties / tariffs) and eec subsidies!!

As long as they are good quality plants I would overlook their airmiles.
Others might not........

I have recently had dealings with Broadleigh bulbs in Taunton, Devon.  Beware, they sell specialist plants at expensive prices and delivwer very small bare-rooted plants, which are not what one would expect at £4.00 per plant.  Their attitude is very superior as though this is what one should expect from such a specialist company and then not answer questioning e-mails.  I only hope that next Spring what I have invested in will in fact still be alive.  I have questioned the quality of their stock, but feel very uneasy as to any replacement or refund should the very frail plants fail.  I will not recommend or use this company in the future.

Thank you so much for the recommend Goose.
I received a delivery a few weeks ago of some primula and they are romping along in the green house.
Much obliged.
